I wonder if you can buy the fairing, brackets, harnesses, etc.. and install it on the Freewheeler. Would look cool, a RG Special trike.

i'm sure it can be done but it would be pricy I'm sure really cool but pricey, Possibly pick up salvage parts and re-fit everything. Sounds like a winter project for sure. travel safely keep us posted. Travel safely Fred

I'm surprised that Harley hasn't made a RG Tri Glide yet. The frame mounted fairing should handle better than our fork mounted fairing...just saying.

The answer is no...because of the rake of the forks...been there done that...wanted to swap my 15' Tri Glide fairing for a 15' Road Glide...was ready to order all parts and got stopped at the last moment...said parts would not work...

I have seen a thread where some one did change the fairing to a RG. OP said it wasn't easy but he did do it

It would have to be McGiver'd to fit. Not a direct match.

I have seen a lot of HD trikes with RG farings so of course it can be done. Even seen sone on Heritages and Vrods.

think it would be more cost effective to get a rg and do an aftermarket conversion.
